Denver County: Splitting Duplex into 2 Single Family or Rowhomes

[Kevin Grasse]

Hi all,

I'm looking for information regarding splitting a front/back duplex in Denver County. The duplex is zoned as E-SU-D1, but the property type is listed as "RESIDENTIAL DUPLEX" and has two different address numbers. It's a front-back duplex with a total of about 1500 sf between the two units. 

I've seen a number of duplexes in the neighborhood with nearly the same layout that are split on the parcel map and listed as "RESIDENTIAL ROWHOMES". So, I'm curious if anyone knows the process and legalities behind doing this?

I've been trying to contact the zoning department, although they've not been particularly responsive. If you have any tips for how to get a hold of them, that would help too haha.

Thanks,

Kevin
